I really wanted to enjoy this collection of short stories. A collection that focuses on topics like motherhood and ageing and womanhood is right up my ally. However, I felt that I just couldn't really connect with these stories except for the titular one, Wednesday's Child, and didn't find the way the author delved into these topics particularly interesting. Additionally, the writing style was very hit or miss with me. At times I thought it was effective and at other times it didn't really work for me.
